For a few years the Egyp- tians were masters of Palestine, and they made one of the sons of Josiah king, exacting of him a heavy tribute, What sort of man he was appears both from the history (2 Kings 23:36 to 24:4) and from Jeremiah's com- ments upon him, Jer. 22:13-19. It was in the beginning of his reign that the prophet made this speech in the temple court, of which we have the substance only in vs. 4-6, Itis wani- ng that continued disobedience to Je- hovah's laws would end in the de- struction of the temple and the city, brought upon him the anger of some of the priests 'and of the other pro- phets, who stirred up the people against him. He was seized and brought before a tribunal of the "princes of Judah " The charge was that he had "prophesied against skis eity" It was hard for them to under-" stand that the true patriot must some- times speak against his city or his country and warn the people of the inevitable consequences of evil doing. Vs. 12-16. Jerernlah's answer to the charge is spirited and full of cour- age. "The Lord sent inc." Arnend your ways and your doings, anrd obey the voice of the Lord." "Do what you will with me." He promises deliver- anee from the threatened evil. The earnestness of his speech was convinc- ing and the princes pronounced him not guilty. "He hall spoken to us," they said, "ie the minae of the Lord our God." There were seine who re- called that Micah (or Micaiah) had made a similar prediction In the days of Eezrkiah, (See Micah 3:12.)

His very sensitive constitution. He shrank from incurring the opposi- tion of his fellows. He was timid, shy, emotional unhappy when he had to contend with others. (See ch. 1:7; 8:21; 9:1.) These two facts made it "hard" for Jeremiah to maintain his religious faith. Jeremiah, one of the greatest saints in history, was put on trial for his life. Why? Because he was charged with heresy. The heresy charge consisted in the fact that he declared that the temple would share the fate of Shiloh; it would be over- thrown and destroyed. Those who hated him exclaimed, "This man is a revolutionist. He is laying unholy hands on our sacred religion, Away with him." What Jeremiah was really doing was the opposite. He was en- deavoring to save their "sacred reli- gion," but be declared that one of the outward things or institutions of reli- gion would pass away. No doubt there was another teaser why those who posed as the guardians of the faith, demanded nothing less than Jere- miah's death. He did not look back to the past as they did, indeed he de- nied that the watchword of the past was sufficient for the crisis with which they were faced in their new day. He said in effect, it was the religious duty of Isaiah, a century ago, to maintain the inviolability of Zion, but now the situation is chaug- ed, and it is certain that the purposes of the Lord will be fulfilled, though Jerusalem and the temple both fail, 3. Jeremiah is an illustrious ex- ample of u pian who had great con- victions, and was loyal to them at all eases. Sometimes we have been told that the end of life is to multiply pleasures, but the best and noblest of our race have generally walked a hard and thorny path, and have counted it joy that they were privileged to help mankind' through their own hardships, and sufferings.

Spoiled feed, whether it be of plant or animal origin, should never be fed. Too much beef scraps or tankage should not be given.

Too much attention can scarcely be given to this phase of poultry hus- bandry and many factors involved in proper feeding cannot be controlled. One thing, however, is within the power of control of any poultryman and that is the amount fed. Over- feeding is about as bad as under- feeding. Tonics for Horses and Cattle. vomica, and fenugreek.

It was based on a family of husband, wife, and three children from three to twelve years of age, and the sup- position was that they would he a family doing moderately bard work. First of all, they must have, dablY, four and a half pounds of bead, which would have the same food value as three pounds of wheat or rye flour. Less ed he fmnllybread substitutedwouldbo someneed, oatmealift, cornmeal, hominy, rice, or ate largely of potatoes. , Slightly less than half a pound of fat daily - would be desirable. This might be butter, beef' drippings or any good animal fat. A. little more than one cup of sugar per .day, based on a weekly allowance of four pounds for the family. Some outer sweet,, such as maple syrup or honey might be substituted. Four pounds in all of fresh fruits and fresh 'or root vegetables. Three quarts. of milk. One pound of meat food or some of the meat substitutes. If you check your food supply against this you will probably land' that you do not use as much milk. This may not be necessary in families without young children, but if there are three children under twelve years you need every drop of the prescribed amount. Possibly you use more than the stated amount of sugar, and it is quite likely that you do not take your prop- er proportion of fresh fruits and vege- tables. Your meat foods will include meats, ash, poultry and eggs. . If summer DAI dairyingLRYis to be made profitable after the flush months of spring pasture have passed, some supplemental feed must be grown to help out the declining pasture supply. I find that as n rule pasture can be depended upon for about three months of the year and then the supply grad- ually declines. At Forest Grove Farm we have about forty-five acres of low land pas- ture which resists drought remark- ably well and, under ordinary condi- tions, will supply nay cows with plenty of feed until about the first of August. However, I fled it is not safe to de- pend upon a favorable season, but rather prepare for the opposite and then take what comes, I find it best to always be ready for the worst, then ' you are never disappointed and, if better conditions come, you are equal- ly as well prepared. I find itpaysto grow plenty of green feed for the cows. The extra time and labor involved is many times repaid in the increased milk flow. M- falfa is ono of the best supplemental feeds the dairyman can grow. It is dependable, comes on early in the summer and is. ready for feeding be- fore other crops can be grown. In case it is not needed for supplemental feeding, it can be cured and stored. I always plan to sow sweet corn for late summer and fall feeding. Sweet corn sown thick in twenty-eight inch rows will produce a large tonnage of valuable green feed and materially' help out on pasture and increase milk production. A Model Dairy Station. The Finch Dairy Station hs Stor- mont County, Ontario, was established in 1912 by the Dominion Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, to show the pos- sibilities of a combined model cheese factory, creamery, and milk and cream shipping station;; to encourage the production of winter milk; to con- duct experiments and investigations . relating to the manufacture of butter and cheese; to demonstrate new pro- cesses and to try out new appliances; to 'demonstrate the value of the cool curing of cheese, and to study the economies of dairy factory operation. In Pamphlet No. 44 of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, reports on the progress of the Station. It shows, as the Dairy Commissioner says, that a . government establiehment.can be con- ducted at a profit, the amount re- ceived as manufacturing commission having for every on, of the twelve' years of operation, been in excess of that paid patrons. In 1912 the total money received was 326,693.42 and the amount paid patrons $23,301,49, leaving a balance of $2,288.93, In 1023 the amount received was .814.9,608.14 and the amount paid to patrons $133,- 539.37, leaving a balance of 815,- 400.36. 1t has been found necessary to restrict the number of patrons in the summer months, while in the _coin. ter all comers are welcome. As a eon. - Sequence, the patrons last year were 11.9 in the summer and 104 in the winter. 'The report else shows that in seven years, from 1917.to 192;1, both inelusive, $93,029M2 was paid le patrons aver and . above what they would have received if remunerated at the average price paid for cheese mills , in Ontario.
